rocks my socks off

this whole outfit is just so awesome!

i love that the sleeves are slashed

and i love the change in pattern.

the socks retain the style and color

of the sweater pattern

but change it in scale and

the repetition of the rhombi

thus creating a slightly different pattern

that also differs in overall tone

(because of more black in the socks)

and overall pattern effect

(if you squint, the sweater appears to be

spotted or latticed and the socks appear to be

either checkered or striped, and the socks

look more 'busy' because of the even

amount of colors.)

genial.

also, i love the burlington-style pattern.

the pattern on the sweater is off

which makes it look rebellious rather than

conventional (the slashed sleeves add to this)

okay, these things are not really important.

point is, i love this look.

and would wear it.
